Marylebone Cricket Club


 

The Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), founded in 1787, was the original governing body of international cricket. It is a private members' club. Though its international functions passed on to the International Cricket Council (ICC) in 1993, and its English governance to the England and Wales Cricket Board, the MCC still is the framer and copyright holder of the Laws of Cricket. However, this role is increasingly under pressure as the ICC seeks to exercise control over all aspects of the world game. In recent times the ICC has instituted changes to the Laws (e.g in One Day Internationals) with a minimum of consultation with the MCC. Also, in moving its location from Lord's to Dubai the ICC is making a clear statement of independence from the past.
